Chipotle Mexican Grill is a chain of fast food restaurants specializing in tacos and burritos that was founded in Denver in 1993.
Despite McDonalds once having a stake in Chipotle (which has since been sold off), Chipotle has long been a leader in adopting progressive business practices, such as opening LEED certified resturants, sourcing organic ingredients, and also sourcing "free-range" meat.
